Can’t wait for this one-Inie and Karen sure know how host a party.
It’s a slightly different kinda of vibe to the shows we usually play-a little bit more intimate and potentailly really quite sweaty (and that’s just Christoph). We’re gonna be playing a load of new stuff , including the first ever play of our just finished AD Bourke remix for Citinite. (we’re really excited about that one!!)

Come down if you’re local (half the door goes to Haiti, so it will be good for your soul as well)

It’s all Dam-Funk’s fault.

After weeks and months procrastinating over what to do with the ever increasing Archive de Ulysses82-it was the chance to hand over some ‘cheap heat’ to the west coast’s leader of the nu-funk revolution, that finally prompted us to get our act together.

The result is a 4 track ep of edits and versions we have played and given to friends over the past 6-9 months or so. It’s a chance for those of you weird enough not to be checking hypemachine every week for new beats to catch up and also a chance for us to say thank you for all the support and amazing feedback we’ve received over the last year. The EP is called objectif: lune and will be available to download, here.

In the meantime, in honour of a great nights out with friends and journey’s round city streets trying to find the party, here is a track that has never been posted anywhere -but has been played out by us and Red Rack’em (God bless him) a few times.

Enjoy.

John Fordham on the enduring legacy of Miles’ seminal album;

As is now part of jazz folklore, the New York sessions that produced this remarkable album were completed in a handful of takes over just a few hours, with a minimum of compositional materials. Davis, guided by faith in the powers of his band, knew he was on to something revolutionary, and the outcome has supported that conviction ever since.

Radiohead-still way ahead of the curve and finding ways to make it all seem new (again).

“It was a strange night,” Trammell said. “It was crazy. What a night. Thirty years later, and we’re still laughing.”

NYT on the 30th anniversary of the Night Disco Went Up in Smoke.

Gotta love the 70’s-imagine trying to get health and safety approval to blow up a bin full of disco records in a stadium full of people these days.

The wonderful Kutiman, interviewed on NPR

Given that he’s a musician and a producer himself, one might think that Kutiman would get bored working with such mundane subject material.

“Actually, the other way around,” Kutiman says. “After I finished this project, I found it really boring to play something myself — to compose a song or play guitar or play bass, it really looked boring to me. It has no video in it, it has no person in it, and it has no other life in it.

And that’s it right there.

70s, scifi, french italian*, animated, synth heavy, video.

It’s like all the keywords in my life have converged into one 3:34 long video.

*thanks inie

Amazing

Imagine all the visuals they’ll be able to jack.

It’s like they are living my ideal life, ten years before me.

(and with far more success)
